Babble From a Stranger

Private School Education

1)Always keep a smile. Present yourselves well. You are the Lord's chosen after all. Learn your studies. –(a.) Hide those words in your heart. –(b.) Fight the devil, fight society, fight the thoughts of loneliness like Daniel and doubt like Thomas of self-worth and true paths of righteousness. Hide the scars deep from battle shredded by the cat o' nine tales whip, and always keep a smile.

2)Always keep a smile, even at 8:15, when the search is done to make sure your skirt does not come three inches from your knee. –(a.) Hide the curves under knapsack-like polos and bottoms with plaid. It is no one's job but your own to stop something bad from elapsing; they can't help but to look. We won't teach them otherwise, so you must bite the hook of responsibility for their wandering eyes and growing pants size at the sight of too much of your legs. –(b.) Be ashamed of what you have but hide the shame within. Always keep a smile."

3)Always keep a smile. You are the face of the institution. Outside of our walls, our eagle eye and lion's grip doesn't loosen. You should know that fun is evil and ripping you from God. You should be praying in remorse, not laughing in the sun. –(a.) Hide your bodies at the beach, don't be seen in pictures of a party. When you return to your jail cell Monday, be prepared for the scolding of a million people's thoughts that have no business being on you, but you've paid for the torture that they plan to ensure. –(b.) Take your chiding and punishment in silence, but show no chips in your glassy exterior. Always keep a smile."

4)Always keep a smile. On every Friday, put your hands in the air, step, clap, and sway to the sound of the praise band for mandatory chapel. –(a.) Listen to the speaker speak up and down of Eve's fault with the apple. –(b.) Swallow where we believe a women's place should be regarding a pulpit and our exaltation of our rising men. They will carry the world, while you raise their children. –(c.) Do not dare to speak an opinion other than this or beware the stares and thoughts that if you really loved Jesus your heart would understand. –(d.) Look up from your lowly kneeling post in the throne room of importance, but you must, always keep a smile."

5)Always keep a smile. Memorize your verses, take Hebrew and Latin, take philosophy to understand the problem of trolly and who it'll flatten out because of your decision. You are never allowed to explain the irony of the morale that story is teaching. –(a.) Pass world religions, know what to run from, take all the love you had from the Bible and shove it down where you instead regurgitate the Psalms singsong selection. –(c.) When you are released from this place, show the world nothing of the battle you've raged inside. –(d.) Show nothing of the ideals that at night made you cry yourself to sleep for thinking you could never be what a man could. –(e.) Hide the word, still, deeper than your true thoughts. Remember the curriculum which was the only part that didn't suck. –(f.) You are no longer ours and may choose to grow and understand the Lord as you please. You will grow, yes, but we will never guarantee good fruit you will bear outside of our laws. As you leave for the undetermined future remember-Yes, but at least for once I have a reason to always keep a smile.
